Not a lot of votes which is fair given the day, I think I'll leave this one for the morning if you guys don't mind. It also has the advantage that I'll be more well rested. Today was fun but hectic.

  --[X] Have cyberdevils possess the helicopters
  --[X] Defuse the bombs
  --[X] Board the helicopters, and talk to the soldiers, starting from their commander
  -[X] STUNT: You slice through the air towards the military helicopters like a futuristic interceptor, the flames of your anima coiling around you like a plasma sheath around hypersonic missile. You are, however, well within your rights to do so, as you have been assured, and so It is only proper that the pilots of your targets do not attempt to dodge, to shoot, to do anything at all.
  --[X] STUNT: As you get into the leading helicopter, you quickly evaluate people inside, and address their apparent leader: "Tell your forces to land, *military rank*, your mission is FUBAR and we need to talk if you really want to see your country safe"

  [X] Plan A Fine Point
  —[X] Call in a subsoul to make the weather too rough to fly into for the helicopters
  —[X] Stealthy defuse the bombs
  —[X] Use another crown question to determine who the closest red court links to this operation are
  —[X] Call on Sutra cyber crimes experts to establish a beachhead on earth and collect or fabricate evidence of serious crimes committed by those people then leak them.
  —[X][Stunt]: Taking a breath, Molly nodded to herself, signaling a start to their operation.
  —-[X] A shiver seemed to spread through the air, the attention of something vast strumming across the surface of the world and brushing against its spirits. For miles around a storm started to brew, fat drops of rain mixing with howling wind.
  ——[X] If that rain at times seemed colder than it should be, or the wind carried what was less a hint and more a question of iron it was surely just a trick of the imagination. Just like the flickers of green heralding distant thunder.

[BoredMan]

Maybe we could mess with their systems and more directly interfere by sending them off in completely the wrong direction?

You could, but the question is how do you stop this from happening when Molly isn't here. You need a long term solution

Click to shrink...

It doesn't actually solve the long term problem and exposure to the soliders is unnecessary. We don't know how much they know and while we probably could talk them around eventually I don't think either of us would benefit much from it.

Okay that sounds fine. Though I do want to snitch to Mab about this Masquerade breach play.

I'll just vote and leave for now. Worst Christmas to date.

I am making guesses. They might be just average soldiers on an average patrol. But I think it would make a bit more sense for Red Court to send someone whose loss is more of an issue / scandal.

Click to shrink...

You're making guesses that have no basis in evidence, that don't align to the motives of our opposition, and assume abilities would change how they're operating where we can see them.

There's nearly as much support for the idea that the reds are independently sending a whole army after us right now.

Nice to see a new reader. There's a link in informational on this too, but you can find the charms we're referring to here.

Perfect defenses are an entire category of protection that work roughly as you describe. For our purposes they essentially have a condition you fill that then allows you to bounce whatever you like off your chin.

ExWoD adds some additional nuance to that, but generally they just work.

On the charms, mostly EXP hell. Other needs came up beyond more health. Stuff like building a primordial soul hierarchy, perfect disguise illusions, and perfect shaping defenses. Which work like damage related perfects, but apply to people playing exotic games. You know, hostile teleportation, forced shape shifts, soul attacks, curses, etc.

We did get MiM though.

Edit: error

Thanks. I know what perfect defenses and shaping defenses are, but still thank you for putting it in simple words that I can then use to explain to anyone I try to introduce to the system.
My question was specifically regarding BHU, and if it could help us facetank and no-sell Balor's eye.
